The Poppies are popping out and the Iris are rising up
.....on this early misty morning at sunrise...
which looked like this earlier...peaceful water colors...
and the reason I came out...
which led to taking photos of the more vibrant colors...
in the yard...like...the oranges and purples.
the glowing purple Iris...
and the fiery orange Poppy...
But...one can easily find things for...

calm...

peaceful photos...

like this Robin sitting on a nest...
a nest with 4 vibrant blue eggs to begin...
and 4 peaceful baby Robins in the end...
and here's 4 leaf clovers again...
Too easy - just 2
I had spotted a chipmunk going into his tunnel...
with the clover peacefully standing guard.
Here's more peaceful water color flowers
in the yard...
Fern and Great Waterleaf
The light lavender Waterleaf and peaceful blue Ajuga

When I took my walk last week with Andrew...
we came upon this cool peaceful scene in the woods...
I also liked this tree...if you enlarge and look closely...
you can see that it abruptly ends.....a tree behind makes it
difficult to see...photographer's fault!

Just a unique grape vine in the woods!
Do you see anything?
Andrew saw a go-cart...Dylan saw a "pac-man" face!Photos of Andrew near a cliff...
Don't slip Andrew!
Oh no!
Just kidding Cindy(Mom)...it only looks dangerous.
After spending time with Andrew that day...
Granddaughter Amanda came by for a visit. She
just finished her 2nd year of college...this summer she is
editing a manuscript of a professor's book.
She's peaceful and vibrant!
Then a few hours later...
Grandson Dustin stopped by. While having dinner
at a restaurant with his parents and brother Grant...
Dustin...being a licensed EMT...was able to assist a
patron that was having a seizure or stroke.
He's peaceful and vibrant too!
I've had a fulfilling week with nature and grandchildren...
so I made Herhusband a few fulfilling meals!
Peppers Fettuccine with Salmon...
and Banana Coconut Pecan Bread with
Coconut Lime Glaze
Yesterday morning...I went out...with camera...
again very early...peacefully quiet...except for birds!
Took this photo on my way to back yard...
It's a Solomon's Seal plant that's not quite open yet...
which sprouted here on it's own last year.
It will open to this soon...
This is just proof that I do work sometimes...
and I do get distracted sometimes by birds...
like this Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the feeder...
they have a vibrant red neck!
We have two sets of them this year and I can't get a

you can see the female...she really blends in!

Later while working in the herb garden...
something else caught my eye...well
I actually heard it first.

It's half way up the skinny tree...to the left of center...

a Pileated Woodpecker
He eventually flew to a tree right above me...
I just barely managed a quick photo of his

before he went even higher.

He stayed about 20 minutes...all the while...
calling to another in the distance.
I recorded his call...

You have such a beautiful life!
Your isis are so beautiful, they are my all time favorite flowers!
Oh Wanda I'm so excited,you have baby Robins too! Aren't they fun to watch? Also you have such beautiful grandchildren,I can see how proud you are! I love what you did with Andrew and the cliff,very good!
Hi Wanda,
Your sunrise was lovely - I would have gone outside, too! I really liked the photo of the ferns and wild geraniums - the different shades of green were wonderful. So - that's the actual color of robin's egg blue? I've never seen robin eggs myself - or the babies. A wonderful post once again - I always enjoy them...
Gorgeous children, lovely robin eggs,and the Iris - oh - the Iris!. Thanks, Wanda.
The sunrise and the baby robins were spectacular. But I particularly liked the view on the way to your backayard. That was very beautiful :-)
So enjoyed your blog tonight, my favorite (other than your grandchildren of course) was the fern. My favorite plant, I have tried several times to keep one in my living room but I do something wrong as I have lost at least 3 of them. Wonderful post my friend......Have a wonderful day....:-) Hugs
You must have the patience of a saint for downloading so many photos and then uploading them to your wonderful blog. The rest of us are the lucky rcipients of this wonder. I still suspect that you really live in some Disney story, like Cinderella, Snow White, Peter Pan or close to it.
blessings,

Well, I see snow on the ground, and a big long black snake...I also see your vibrant grandchildren, they are sooooo good looking! Spring has sprung where you are that's for sure, I love the colors, and that sunrise is georgeous...you are blessed...I really enjoy visiting you...hope one day we can have a cup of tea... : )
Jack in the Pulpit--aren't you lucky!!
I wish we had more of the native wildflowers here, but they're slow to return.
